Well, hopefully in the near future Biden will tear down that old racist border wall so these poor folks coming to look for work we won't do, will not have such a tough time sneaking in. I feel sure the poor individuals involved are not affiliated with any gangs or cartels. They probably picked and gathered the pot along their journey, you know kind of like flowers. Biden really needs to hurry with that wall. His future voting block is growing impatient. A few days back, some of them tried to force their way through border crossings while chanting BIDEN, BIDEN, BIDEN. There is a new caravan that started in Honduras, SURPRISE, SURPRISE. It's making it's way up and growing in size. I doubt this time they will be turned back. Instead, we the taxpayers will be forced to pay for them over the next several years in various ways. Many of you reading this will label me as uncaring, racist, homophobic or whatever. You will say it's the right thing to do. Well, the right thing to do is take care of our own countrymen first. Those of you that are in that camp should start by inviting some bridge people to camp out in your yard of even stay in a spare bedroom. Of course we all know that won't happen.
